Mental health consumers die young.
Based on the limited information you gave us, this title is misleading. It sounds as if being a consumer makes you die younger. My guess is that is not the case. Severe mental illness has many problems of its own and way to many very sick people are without any treatment at all. I would be dead by now if I did not become a consumer of mental health care. The title could scare some people, please provide a link to the full report or summary.
